CATCHING THE SUNSET WHEREVER YOU ARE

Photography is all about the light, this is actually what the word « Photography » means: drawing the light.So when an opportunity with beautiful light arises, especially sunsets you shouldn’t miss it ! Even if you’ve got the wrong equipment, the wrong angle and just can’t be bothered !

That’s exactly what happened to me yesterday.My son rushed in the living room while I was playing around with light tricks on the D4s and the 105mm.He said « there is a spectacular sunset at my windows and you simply cannot miss it ».I knew I was going to have lots of ugly buildings blocking the view and that by the time I actually got up and ran to his room, the sunset would have shifted, and it did ! But still, the colors were amazing and I am more than happy with the few shots I took.

For info, the camera was set in manual at ISO100, f2.8 1/125 when I took the first shot, the blueish one.I then corrected to f8, shot one to check and finally corrected to ISO 800 before the sunset was over.All shots were spot measured and locked on a colorful patch of the sky.
